Prospective Students

As a future nursing student, it is important that you select a nursing program that is the right fit for you. At the University of Memphis Loewenberg College of Nursing, we offer undergraduate and graduate degree paths that provide accessible and innovative higher education. We have a long-standing tradition of academic excellence and offer programs taught by world-class professors, preparing more than 1,000 leaders online and on two beautiful campuses (Memphis and Lambuth). The impactful support of our community partners aid in the advancement of our LCON to meet students' needs and achieve health equity. 

Below are just a few of the reasons we think you'll love LCON and fit right in with our talented students and renowned faculty. Be sure to check out our Programs pages to learn more about the program that will be the best fit for you.

State-of-the-Art Resources

As a student in the College of Nursing, you have access to state-of-the-art technology and resources on both campuses. Everything you need to succeed is contained within our LCON home, including a library, study areas, food court, computer labs, training labs and more. We have eight teaching labs with fully-functioning simulator manikins that allow students to practice inserting IVs, checking blood pressure and even delivering a baby. All beds and tools are the same used in hospitals, so students learn in a real-world setting.

Friends for Life

“At LCON you don’t feel like you are by yourself. There is always someone to help guide you whether it’s from students, teachers to administration. We are all in this together. ”    -Rougui Barry

One thing that separates the nursing major from other degree programs is the sense of connection and closeness amongst students. Although it's a challenging major, you always have the same group of classmates that are right there beside you, from your first day of orientation until your pinning ceremony. But you don't spend all of your time studying together. The best ways to make connections with fellow students is to get involved in a student organization and attend college and campus events throughout the year.

Unmatched Opportunities

LCON is located in the heart of the 25th largest city in the United States, providing unparalleled opportunities for success. Memphis has a robust healthcare community including 25 hospitals and one of the world's leading healthcare research facilities.
